Alternative Medicine and Herbal Remedies

In wintertime we often find ourselves spending more time indoors. We are in close contact with other people and their cooties...I mean germs. How can we combat the colds, sore throats, aches and pains, etc that illness brings? We can try alternative, sometimes herbal remedies or we can reach for the familiar Tylenol and throat drops (not that there's anything wrong with that). This year let's branch out a little and learn about herbal remedies such as teas made from ginger which is good for upset stomachs, elderberry juice to help with sore throats, and how something as common as honey can really help make being sick a little more bearable. You probably already use alternative medicines but never thought of them that way. Remember chicken noodle soup? Yep, that can be considered alternative medicine! Bring your questions! Bring your own knowledge of what works for you! See you there!
